For some reason OE wont allow me to delete any emails.
Any ideas anyone.
Deleted Items is probably corrupt.
Go to Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder and see where OE is
storing its data files.
Close OE.
Go to the store folder with Windows Explorer and delete Deleted Items.dbx.
With Win2K, WinXP and Win2K3 it will be a hidden file.
OE will build a new one when you reopen it.
If Deleted Items has messages you want to keep, instead of deleting it
move (not copy) it to an empty Windows folder. Then use DBXtract on the
old Deleted Items.dbx.
DBXtract ($5): http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/
You can drag the recovered messages from the Windows folder back into an
OE folder in the Folder List in an open OE.
